Meet Shelbee

“I learned a number of valuable things from the early career leadership program, and about a year after completing the course, I received a promotion. These types of programs are so important for the development and deepening of leadership skills, and it also helped me understand parts of the business that I don’t usually work with. It was a unique opportunity to collaborate with some of my colleagues across the world.”
